opening external links in CHROME
 

hi..

wonder if anyone can help, when using the Chrome Browser my normal external links don't open correctly.

I run a radio site and an image with a link to tune in, doesn't open up a media player like it would in Firefox and Internet Explorer, instead it opens up the Save Box to save the file ..

Anyone suggest what coding I could use to make it OPEN in chrome instead of SAVE AS in chrome?

Thank you :)

Could be a default configuration in Chrome, if you could provide the code from your link and a link to your site, it would be helpful.

Hi Ducks.. thanks for replying...

website is www.ibass-radio.com/radio/forum.php ... under the chatbox are mediaplayer icons for windows media player/realplayer/winamp etc ... in chrome when u click them it brings the save as box up ..

the code i use is a simple image + link code it open them .. which as I say works fine in firefox and IE

They work for me in Chrome (13.0.782.107), but they actually bring up a "Save" dialog in IE. I think what Ducks is saying is that it has to do with how your browser is configured.

ive got the same version 13.0.782 and opens the Save box ... but u shouldn't have to configure ur browser for it to work .. not everyone knows how to do that .. it should auto open the link properly shouldnt it?

maybe those browsers have some form of built in plugin and chrome does not? maybe a plugin has to beinstalled for chrome..

thats my point preemz .. u shouldnt have to install a plugin it should just open up normally .. the average user wouldnt know to install a plugin to open a file ..

the code i use is:
